    At our age, nobody cares what we look like! Main thing is, you are out doing stuff! I’m walking from Foxhill to Uffington on Saturday and will cook my lunch on my Trangia. My adventures have been fuelled by you! You are an inspiration, mate 👍

    Great to see you conferring with the ancestors. You won’t find a landscape like that anywhere else in the world. It’s the definition of England. It’s rolling hills & fertile land. Beautiful part of the world you live. Thank you for sharing it. Andy

    There is true freedom in the countryside, I love it. I would go crazy if I wasn't able to get out to walk. It is beautiful land where you are, its heathland and woods here but I love it all. Thankyou Lord that we are able to wander and walk these places it is a wonderful blessing.

    Love your videos Sandy. 💕💕. You are very fortunate living in Wiltshire such a beautiful area steeped in ancient history. Great safe overnight camp site for you to pitch your tent nestled under the evergreen boughs away from the wind. Thanks for allowing us to join you ❤️. Judy🇨🇦🇨🇦

      I did enjoy this adventure and the place I camped "Knighton Bushes" was a Romano British settlement around 2000 years ago, lots of history in Wiltshire

    We remember those places from twenty some years ago; Wayland’s Smithy was very green that hot summer (2003). We had fun looking at the thousands of coins pressed into the bark of the trees, folks wanting a blessing on their unborn children or trying to become pregnant. We tromped around the Uffington long barrow as well, and of course the White Horse, Old Sarum, Avebury, Stonehenge, and the lot. Nice country but very warm that August. The wife was in the throes of history overload, but we both loved it. Thanks for the memories.

    • @WiltshireMan
      @WiltshireMan  8 місяців тому

    Aye it's a tad slippery under tyre at the minute Sandy. Wheels to Wander are a channel I like, a young Dutch couple who cycle all over. I will check that channel too. that was great wee spot to camp - very stealthy and quiet. Wiltshire like many counties is blessed with beautiful landscapes. Thanks for posting Sandy.

    Fantastic Sandy. Enjoyed that immensely. Just what I loved doing when I was your age and a good bit younger.. That makes me sound old!! Out in the wilds on your own, with a bike or on foot, with just a little tent and minimal gear - that's the perfect adventure. Keep doing it my friend.
    Love to all,
    Noel

    @charlespark7338 8 місяців тому

    Hi Sandy , good to see your brakes were still working after all that mud. Quite an achievement to tackle some of those tracks this time of year I have only been that way in the dryer times. It is a shame some of the byways tracks are made worse by motorised vehicles, I suppose we have to live with sharing, but it does spoil the tracks. At least you did not have to share your pastie with Elvin Smith. 👍👍.

    • @WiltshireMan
      @WiltshireMan  8 місяців тому

      My biggest concern was mud getting on the chain and wrecking the rear mech, that happened to me on the KAW Charles. I'm glad I can peddle the bike, my hip wasn't sore at all. I reckon I've got a lot more miles left in my legs but I'm not a fast rider as you can no doubt tell from Strava:)

    • @WiltshireMan
      @WiltshireMan  8 місяців тому

      I have also wondered how the hell he can be comfortable just laying onn the cold ground, I guess he is putting some spare clothing beneath him maybe? I also learned something from watching a recent video where he was comparing the Lanshan 1 to the Alpkit tarpist, I spotted an inflatable Vee Pillow :)@@billhambelton7698

Lovely to see the downs, no houses, no cars, no people.... BLISS !!!!!! Be well Sandy

    Another inspiring video Sandy. Sad to think that we are the last of those who, in our youth, touched the stones at Stonehenge and clambeted to the top of Silbury Hill (just as it was being excavated by one of the universities) just a very short while before it collapsed at the tip and was closed to the public (they never did work out it was due to us)😂.
    I see you mamaged to get the Cornish Pasty in! Plenty more to go at..
    ECCLES CAKE, BAKEWELL TARTS, CHELSEA BUNS, FAT RASCALS, TOTTENHAM CAKE, BEDFORDSHIRE CLANGERS, MANCHESTER TARTS...CHIP BUTTYS! Food for thought indeed.

    Cracking video again Sandy, so interesting that Barrow and wow, what the world was like back then. So I see exactly why you need to escape every day life and it's great to be part of your escape.
    You went down that last hill like I used to ride 50 years ago ..... Flat out! Loved it ! Take great care mind...... Best wishes, P & M

      Glad you enjoyed it Pete, I always try and think what it would have been like back in the distant past, no doubt a lot more tree's and wilderness and wolves and bear:)

    I do love a good Ridgeway video, Sandy. I've been meaning to get on there for a few years now, but it's yet to happen. Hopefully this year will be the one.

      Ridgeway is lovely, you can get a good sense of remoteness up there

    The Downs are a beautiful place. An ancient landscape that fills me with energy. History is everywhere when you take time to soak it up and know what you are looking for.

    Thanks for the video. I appreciate the effort that goes into it.
    I cycled Swindon -> Albourne -> Swindon yesterday. I took a byway out of Albourne via Lower Lodge Barn. It was a total nightmare. Just a car wide and with massive wheel ruts that were too deep and narrow to allow pedalling and very slippery clay (no grass). It was hard to even walk along and cycling was out of the question. Next time I'll think twice about taking a byway!

      Hi Andy, the byeways are in a hell of a state at the moment and only really usable by 4x4 vehicles, the bridleways are better but also some of those are not too good either and badly poached up in places
